Elegant Christmas

Hello, crafting friends!  It is Shirley here today, with a card that I have made for Challenge #108 Squirrel-y Friends. Make a friend card and add a squirrel or a bird.

I started my card with a white card base. I cut another white layer and embossed it using the Darice Doily Lace  embossing folder.

Next I chose two stamps to stamp my sentiment. One of them had My Friend on it, and the other one had Merry Christmas. I aligned them on my block, stamped them in Versamark and followed with Gold Detail embossing powder. This is a great way to stretch your stamps.

I took the Impression Obsession Pine Branch die to cut the white pine branches. I attached them to my card using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

I used Gold shiny card stock to cut my birds using Bird Song Dies  Secret Treasures Collection. I attached the gold birds to the branches, also using the Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

My finishing touch to my card was to make a bow with gold ribbon and using the Bow Easy. This is a great tool for me because I cannot tie pretty bows.

I hope you will join us for the challenge this week.  Beverly always has a nice prize for the winner.
